Lon Kruger gets fired up.
Oh, sure, he does.
Take the final seconds of OU’s nail-biter against Texas on Tuesday. After Jalen Hill intentionally missed a free throw to melt away the remaining time but unintentionally missed the rim resulting in a violation that instead gave the ball back to the Longhorns, the Sooners were scrambling. A bit panicked.
Kruger put out both hands, palms facing the basketball court, then quickly pressed them downward as if to say, “Calm down.”
That was it. That was Kruger's version of getting fired up.
The reality is, the Sooner coach is as low key as they come.
